Thanks! I also found the description under the class
RegularPolyCollection in collections.py:
* sizes gives the area of the circle circumscribing the regular
polygon in points^2

I'd like to plot values where the area of a marker is proportional to
some value. How is the size value given in, say:
scatter(x,y,'o',s=10)
used to generate the markers? By eye it looks like the size value is
proportional to the area (i.e. proportional to the radius squared for
circle markers)
